The Boston bombing makes us all wishing to get a hold of the terrorists that did such a cowardly thing. But we do have one of them in custody. The FBI has been extricating valuable information from him as he recovers from his wounds.

The president should not have gone to Boston to blab about his misfortunes with gun control. That might have been accepted, given it was him, but the grieving public didn't have to see an out of control president shouting and calling people liars. After all, it was his Senate leader, Harry Reid who led the vote with a "no" to gun control.

If I understand this correctly, the Lord had charged His disciples to spread out in the world and to preach the Gospel and to be servants to the people. What I don't understand is why stupid little me does understand that, yet most of the popes throughout history never had.

Let me see now... I've asked just about every Catholic that I've met that attends mass and not one could say what the meaning of the word that appears in the Creed,"con-substantial" is. I'm not trying to mock the Church, but that word just isn't thrown around these days like well, "like" like the young parishioners say.. I'd like to know why the Church decided to use such a word combination? Wouldn't it be much better if they just said, "The Body and Blood of Christ exists together in the Bread and Wine of the Eucharist"?

Doesn't it seem strange that right after the crash of a very eventful meteor, that a new Pope arrives in Rome? Personally, I think the two events are related and connected. It was like a wake up call for the world. The world was in trouble, the middle-east crumbling, economies struggling and failing, dictators dying off, and no one fighting off the onslaught of same sex marriage.(How did that come up?)

A few months ago, everyone was joking and laughing about the coming end of the world according to the Mayan calendar. Since then, a most extraordinary event has taken place, the meteor that landed in Russia that injured more than a thousand people. The most extraordinary part about the story was that for the first time, we had sensational pictures of the event.

I still get chills thinking about that freezing day at school when I had to walk home for lunch. In 1945 in the nation's Capital, I attended Ludlow Elementary School and was in the fifth grade. I remember the bell ringing and going to the cloakroom to get my hat and coat. My teacher, Ms. Monica, stopped me and said, "You can have lunch with me. I have plenty and you won't have to go out in the cold."

Watching the Globe Awards is like watching the junior Democrat Convention for brainless actors and actresses. Of course the Hollywood cuties were all there with their plunging necklines endlessly plunging. If they soon don't start wearing a bra, there'll be more than just necklines plunging.

Happy New Year to all. I feel so good this year like I'm floating on air. Oh my God! I am floating on air! I just went over the cliff with everybody else. Don't be fooled. They hadn't prevented anything to hold down spending. They only taxed the hell out of us. In another two-years-time, I wonder what new crisis they'll dream up so they can grab more of our money. Right now, they're working on the rich, but they know they cannot squeeze enough from them to even pay for Obama's vacation trips on Air Force-1.

Hello everyone, this is me, Vincent G. DeCampo, aka, Vinny Dee. I hope that you enjoy reading some of my writing. I know this all sounds silly, especially to my grandchildren, but I now being at age 78, what the hell. I've nothing to lose and the will to gain has slightly subsided... And oh yes, I forgot to mention that I've written lots of fiction in the last 25 years. Some of it pretty good, some of it terrible, and some of it terribly terrible.
